Coil tapping a p90 - what do I need and how do I do it?

[HTH AMPS]

did you get one of these CGE push/pull pots?... http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/POT_PUSH_PULL_500K_W%7CDPDT_SWITCH_WD500PP#  only tried those pots once and they were shitee, very loose and cheap feeling - not much cheaper than CTS either.

you could try these guys (Fake58)... http://www.fake58.co.uk/G%20electrics.htm  their PRS upgrade kit includes two 500k push/pull pots.  their stuff is typically very high quality, I've certainly been happy with my purchases from them.

or you could see if CTS would sell you a single pot directly, you want the '041' switch type which is a SPDT push-on, push-off.  you'll want the 450-series pots which is what you typically get for guitar pots.  these will be full-size CTS pots too, not those mini-pot POS things.

Trouble is I need to get the thinner shaft size for my guitar as its an old japanese one. Maybe I could get someone with a drill press to bore them out to CTS size some time.

no sweat to widen the pot holes, I did it on my Epi LP jr with a hand drill using 0.5mm steps, a reamer is the proper tool though to ensure the wood doesn't split.  If you go up in small steps though, you should be fine with a drill.

Or just use a 10mm countersinking bit - it's "gentler" than an ordinary drill bit and won't rip out any chunks of finish.

ah I think i have a 10mm countersinking bit. I cant really be arsed to rewire the guitar yet though :lol: Took me long enough to order a push pull pot and install that :P
